Lyrics
Carolyn
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
the summer swept chicago
left us with a little bit of rain.
we are trembling, glistening,
listening to the rumble of the elevated train.
and i have never been afraid
of opening myself up to a dream.
and now you've filled me like a bubble
and the trouble is i'm bursting at the seams.
i can't leave you, carolyn.
it has never been so quiet
my heart will never beat this loud again.
i can't leave you, carolyn.
and walk back out amongst the strangers,
strangers who've grown closer than my friends.
they grow closer than my friends.
a square of sunlight on the bedspread
and i stagger through the silence 'til you wake.
we kiss away the morning,
wishing that the morning lasted all day.
well i have never been afraid
of opening myself up to a girl.
but now i've let you in
you begin to shake my precarious world.
i can't leave you, carolyn.
it has never been so quiet
my heart will never beat this loud again.
i can't leave you, carolyn.
i walk back out amongst the strangers,
strangers who've grown closer than my friends.
sometimes love can be so
sometimes love can be so lonely.
sometimes love can be so
sometimes love leaves you alone.
(carolyn)
i can't leave you, (carolyn)
i can't leave you, (carolyn)
i can't leave you, (carolyn)
i can't leave you, (carolyn)
i don't ever want to be lonely, lonely (carolyn)
i don't ever want to be lonely, lonely (carolyn)
i don't ever want to be lonely, lonely (carolyn)
i don't ever want to be lonely, lonely (carolyn)
(carolyn)
